delta-9-norbolethone is the same as diethyldienolone
I apologize if this is too technical for some, but here goes:
the compound in question, "diethyldienolone"(if you want to be a little more specific we could call it 18-methyl-17a-ethyl-dienolone), is roughly twice as anabolic as norbolethone by the same administration method(subcutaneous injection) using the same standard which is 17a-ethyl-nortestosterone. diethyldienolone's anabolic:androgenic ratio by this form of administration is 1450 : 860.
you can look at the specifics of the assay in here if anyone has access:

i do not know how active diethyldienolone will be orally(note that the above^ is by injection), but i would postulate that the extension of the 13b-methyl group to the 13b-ethyl will create steric hindrance during metabolism, and make it more bioavailable(thus more orally active). also the 17a-ethyl should do the same to prevent 17b-hydroxyl oxidation.
it likely won't take a whole lot to make you guys big and strong, but that doesn't mean we should put it in 2mg caps and sell it. alpha/beta testing should determine how much we'll need, if this is released by antaeus in the future.
